What the hell is up with that?

Updates from the Hauli.  That’s me…the whitey on the island.  I am the minority and it is made known.  It’s cool though.  I’ve got some local Ohana (family) that takes care of me.  By that I mean that I don’t get shit from the locals.  They leave me alone because I’m friends with those locals.  It’s a respect thing.  One thing you don’t want to do is piss one of them off though.  Forgiveness is an beating or they throw your car keys in the nearest body of water.  I just mind my business and remember not to honk my horn at a local if they pull out in front of you.  I love this island though. 

So I am a "chef" at a local Princeville restaurant.  I love my job.  It’s robotic and time flys.  It works for now and my boss rocks.  He’s a surfer and he’s totally buddhist chill.  A good Christian Hauli.  The people i’ve met are awesome.  They all have these really intense stories about what brought them to the island.  I could seriously write a book about this place.  News travels fast.  You think Asheville is small.   Try living on an island that is 530 sqaure mile but most of the people live in only about 35 sq miles of each other.  You poop and by the time you wipe the other side of the island is hearing all the details.  It’s great in a way though.  It’s like one big Ohana.

Well, this is my day off and I am going spear fishing and snorkeling.
